Question
A person infected with a virus send to space. Is it true that they will be multipled in number making his health condition worse?
Hi Sonu!
If you are an Indian, I expected much better from you dear! :)
If the person is alive in space, naturally the virus will be alive and kicking too, it will do its job all the same! No matter it is in space or on earth!
It will die - ie, stop multiplying, viruses dont die you know, they just become inert even forming crystals - "with the person", if that person is left untreated & the virus is fatal, else the immune system will take care of it.

Jayen
